Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) 2011 Features 26 Technical Papers on the Successful Use of 3D Measurement and Inspection Technologies

The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) announced today the organization has chosen twenty-six technical white papers to be presented at its annual Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) from July 25 - 29, 2011, at the world class Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Spa in Phoenix, AZ. Technical paper submissions were received from metrology experts and scientists from research laboratories, universities, and leading manufacturers in the United States and Canada, Europe, and Asia.

The 2011 speaker roster is as diverse as the topics to be presented, which include aerospace and automotive metrology applications, reducing plastic injection tool tuning iterations with scanning technology, measuring cooling holes in gas turbines with computed tomography, measurement strategies in industrial robot applications, reducing engineering time for compensation of large CNC machines and other applications of photogrammetry, laser trackers, articulating arms, laser radar, 3D scanners, 3D vision systems and more.

The CMS is also pleased to announce there will be Academic Poster Presentations, a 2011 CMS Measurement Study, and valuable workshops including a 3D metrology hardware review, GD&T software as applied to 3D scan data, and an important CMS Certification Committee update. The CMSC Exhibitor Hall showcases portable measurement systems (PCMMs), software, accessories, peripherals, and service providers servicing the needs of the industrial measurement marketplace. More than thirty five exhibitors participated at last year's conference, where ideas, concepts, and theory flow freely among its participants. Conference attendees hail from prominent science/research laboratories, educational institutions, and industries such as aerospace, satellite, automotive, shipbuilding, power generation, and general engineering.
